YAY!!!

Hectic! Next time, say hi dude!
Oh, I didn't look excited because I think I was in shock!
I only realised during my driving lessons (like a hour later) what happened and I was all excited, it was like a delayed reaction so I blame the shock! but now that I think about it, I bet the organisers thought I was some rich kid who didn't care bout the board, but in truth, I was just in shock.
And yes, I talk about MyBB everywhere ;)

Yeah, and i'm the guy who plays taxi, no one knows and who doesnt get the credit he deserves :P
lol just kidding
 
O M gosh! so that was you? With the Springbok hat on?
I saw you... didn't think it was you.
You weren't even excited that you won the motherboard? why?
Then you were chatting to 2 girls in the queue about MyBB before lady came to call you to announce the prize winners... HECTIC BRU!!!

Your friend also mentioned something about going for driving lessons! haha.

Me slowly backs away from stalker guy :o

:D
 
Congrats. I hope you have the $$$ to buy matching components for the board. Would suck to run a celeron or something in a 2.5k board.;)
 
I won a 4gb iPod from a Bar One "sms the barcode" competition :O
i never thought anyone actually won those prizes...
 
at last years rage I had one of the fastest times at the telkom stand, and I beat everyone when I was play. such a shame that all I got was a queer blue bag
 
Congrats bru

I was also there - queing since about 7:20 am. there was like between 100 and 150 ppl b4 me. Every1 was moaning bout the goodie bags. The first 10 ppl really got sum lekka stuff. I hear about R3k worth of goodies, and the rest.............. A big MSi bag with a pen, Lenovo cap, lanyard, Msi flag (the kind you hang in a shop) and a very small foldable msi frsiby thing.
Was a bit disapointed (along with the other 290 ppl that was standing there in the rain) to only get some msi promotional material. Every1 was expecting a little more. Next year i will camp out and be one of the first ten ppl.

Congrats again on the board:)

Wow, that goodie bag sounds disappointing. What was the 3k's worth of stuff that the 1st 10 got though?

I really dont know. I saw one of it and it was filled to the brim. I saw a LG 3D mouse, first aid kit, but the ppl really didnt show off their stuff. The first guy through the door got a 17" LG lcd. The first 10 also got some lekka specials like a 160Gb WD passport drive for R299 and printers for R99,etc
 
Hi all,

Guess what...

I finally got to put the motherboard in on Sunday.

It doesn't work :(
It didn't boot at all.

Contacted Riaan Swart from Chaos and am going to send it in tomorrow...

*sigh*

I finally win something and bam, it doesn't work :(
 
So after quite 2± years of good service... this motherboard officially died last night :(

I've taken it to Chaos Computers hoping they would honor the warranty that came with it. :)

Let's see what happens.

PS: MyBB threads are great, they provide me with a proof of purchase (even though I won it) haha. Remember to use your threads! haha.

More info:

MSI Motherboards are warranted for 3 year limited warranty.

IIRC MSI have 2 year warranties? Unless it's 3. Then you're covered.

I've been told it's 3 years. But it might have changed but still, apparently, they have to honor it.
If you purchased it and it changed to 2, then it's 2 for that product... if you follow what I'm saying.

Like apparently Seagate HDD's were 5 years, then it changed to 3... but those HDD's that were bought while it was 5 years, Seagate has to honor.

Ag, I'm sure you get what I'm saying.
